TRIPLE-CHEESE BROCCOLI PUFF

This rich-tasting souffle is always on our Christmas morning menu. Like any puffy souffle, it will settle a bit after you remove the dish from the oven, but the pretty golden top is very attractive. I often add some cubed ham. -Maryellen Hays, Wolcottville, Indiana

BROCCOLI-CHEESE PUFF



Broccoli-Cheese Puff image

Here's a recipe I tend to lean on for make-me-feel-special comfort food. Based on a recipe from McCall's Cooking School, #6 under EGGS, CHEESE category. The introduction says, "A SAVORY VEGETABLE BREAD PUDDING. This is a truly magnificent vegetable side dish -- broccoli, cheddar cheese, and bread cubes baked in a basil-flavored egg custard and topped with rings of fresh bread. Prepare it up to 1 day in advance and then pop it into the oven to bake just before serving. The abundance of eggs and cheese makes this dish high in protein, and for a light lunch or dinner you need only add a big tossed salad." The only special tool that not every kitchen has is a 2.75-inch-diameter doughnut cutter required to give this dish its festive appearance; invest in one -- they're cheap! The resulting smiles will make you happy you did! You'll look like a genius! :) Neither prep nor cooking time includes 30 minutes standing time.

Time 2h

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped broccoli
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine, softened
10 slices day-old white bread
12 ounces sharp cheddar cheese
6 eggs
3 1/2 cups milk
1/2 teaspoon dried basil leaves
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • In small saucepan, cook broccoli until tender according to package directions, separating broccoli as directed. Drain and set aside.
  • Thoroughly grease the inside of 9x13x2-inch ovenproof baking pan using the butter or margarine.
  • Using a large serrated knife, trim off and reserve crusts from bread slices. Using a 2.75-inch-diameter doughnut cutter, cut doughnut-shaped rounds from 8 slices of the bread. Cut bread trimmings and remaining 2 slices of bread into 1/4-inch cubes.
  • Coarsely shred Cheddar cheese. Place cheese, bread cubes, and drained chopped broccoli into a large mixing bowl. Toss well and spoon into the prepared baking pan.
  • Arrange doughnut-shaped bread rings on top of broccoli mixture, overlapping them if necessary. Beat eggs in same mixing bowl with a wire whisk or a rotary or portable electric mixer. Add milk, dried basil leaves, salt, and papper. Beat until smooth.
  • Pour seasoned egg-milk mixture over broccoli and bread in pan. Let stand 30 minutes. (This much can be done up to 1 day in advance. Cover broccoli mixture with aluminum foil, removing from 'fridge about 1 1/4 hours before you plan to serve dinner.).
  • Heat oven to 350°.
  • Place uncovered pan on center rack in oven. Bake 60 to 65 minutes or until mixture is puffed and lightly browned, or when a knife inserted in center of puff comes out clean.
  • Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • For a crispy crust, make sure to use cold butter and grated cheese. The cold butter will help the pastry puff up and the grated cheese will help it brown.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can grate the butter and cheese by hand. Just be sure to grate them finely so that they incorporate evenly into the dough.
  • Don't overwork the dough. Once the dough comes together, stop kneading it. Overworking the dough will make it tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help the dough to rest and make it easier to work with.
  • When rolling out the dough, be sure to use a lightly floured surface. This will prevent the dough from sticking.
  • Cut the dough into small pieces before baking. This will help the puffs to rise evenly.
  • Bake the puffs at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will help them to puff up and become crispy.
  • Serve the puffs warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
